The NFL quarterback carousel is constantly under pressure, with players who were first-round picks facing increasing expectations. Kirk Cousins, who joined the Las Vegas Raiders from the Falcons for a four-year, $180 million deal, is expected to start the entire year while Fernando Mendoza is selected with the first pick in this year's draft. If he loses the lead job, he could take on a mentor role as a backup for the rookie. Michael Penix Jr. will also face a training camp battle against Tua Tagovailoa for the starting job. Kyler Murray's career could take one of two directions, either from a resurgence with the Minnesota Vikings or a journeyman stage. Deion Sanders, son of Hall of Famer Deion Famer, is likely to compete for the lead role in the Cleveland Browns' next season.
